APRIL 2007 into MAY

Wow! What a time ..... It all started when we got completely fed-up that CCAA had (Dared!) to only progress referral by 2 ( Yes....TWO ) measely little days to reach 25th Oct 2005 !!!
I think the Adoption Community as a whole worldwide was stunned.
How did I cope?

Well I did what I do best in these situations and decided to spend money ( Ha! Ha! )..so I bought a House!!
Actually ... what happened was we decided to get on with our lives and stop waiting in Limbo.
It was as if everything was meant ....Eric spotted a house in Dilham, the exact village we were looking for. We then had several viewings of houses in the general area, but always knew it woul be "the one".
Betwen the Easter Weekend and the 25th April we sold our house and had our offer accepted on the house in Dilham!! Since then Eric in his usual efficient way ... has basically packed the house up and we are sitting now in a shell of our first home, surrounded by Boxes. Assuming all continues to go smoothly...we are supposedly moving at the end of the of May ( I think first week June realistically )

Blimey!!! What a change in circumstances. It was actually quite sad taking Li Na's room down as it has been ready for her since Feb 2006. I will now have to get another room ready for her, and am already planning what I want to do .
Today - Sat 05/05/07 - I am about to go off and do "Race for Life" to help raise money for Cancer Research. I am joining the "Coastal Chicks" team with the slogan " Li Na's Mum " on the back - Ever Hopefull that I am!! :)

This last lot of referals has reached Nov 1st 2005 .... soon we will creak along to Nov 21st !!
Cheerio for now.
